Trump also mentioned the “invasion of drugs and criminals” on Friday when he vetoed a congressional resolution blocking his emergency declaration to build a wall on the southern border.

Wallace asked if Trump has considered making a major speech “condemning anti-Muslim, white supremacist bigotry?” because of the criticism he has faced.

“The president is not a white supremacist. I’m not sure how many times we have to say that,” Mulvaney replied.

“And to simply ask the question every time something happens overseas or even domestically, to say, ‘oh my goodness, it must somehow be the president’s fault,’ speaks to a politicization of everything that I think is undermining sort of the institutions that we have in the country today,” Mulvaney added.

On CBS’ “Face the Nation” Mulvaney said he wanted to “push back against this idea that every time something bad happens around the world folks who don’t like Donald Trump seem to blame it on Donald Trump.”

“The issue is how do you stop these crazy people? Whether or not there’s one of them or four of them doesn’t make a difference if they’re willing to go on live TV and stream the murder of people. That’s where time is better spent,” he said. “Instead of worrying about who’s to blame – how do we stop [them] from doing this?”

“The president communicates in his way, different presidents communicate in their way,” Mulvaney said. “I don’t think anybody can claim that Donald Trump hasn’t done exactly what we want to do in this circumstance.”
